district, Sumatra (Voekker); 1 c?, Miudoro lowlands, November 1895 to January 

 1896 (Whitehead); and 1 <S from Tauah Massa, Batoe Ishimls, September 1896 

 (Kanuegieter) tvjie. 



Paler and generally smaller than B. taeniata, described below, from which 

 it may be distinguished not only by the shape of the bands on forewiug, but by 

 the subapical line on both wings. ? not known. As is only natural in an island 

 species, the examples vary much in size (and slightly in markings) according to 

 locality, the specimen from Borneo being smallest, and those from Sumatra and 

 Mindoro the largest. 



6. Banisia ocellipennis spec. nov. 



Foreiviiig : semi-transjiarent ochreons, the basal two-thirds suflused with dull 

 red-brown except an erect oval patch reaching from cell aliove the origin of vein 2 

 to submedian vein ; the edge of the brown area runs from four-fifths of inner 

 margin to three-fourths of costa, fprming three sinuses, sejmrated by ])roji'cting 

 teeth on veins 2 and .5 produced as brown strealis to outer margin ; the brown 

 colouring extends narrowly along costa to apex subtending a triangle before apex, 

 from which a red line runs to the streak at end of vein 4, forming there another 

 small triangle ; from the middle of the streak along vein 4 a vertical streak falls to 

 the end of the streak on vein 2 ; the marginal area is thus cut up into five irregnlar 

 patches, reticulated so as to present the apjiearance of an aggregation of irregular 

 cells; the inner margin below vein 1 also shows some pale red-centred cells; 

 fringe (worn) brownish. 



Hindwing .-ochreons, cut up by reddish streaks into irregular roundish blotches 

 of cells, and crossed at middle by an irregular brown baud ; veins, as in forewiug , 

 finely red. 



Underside the same ; the hindwing altogether paler. 



Thorax and abdomen red-brown ; head and shoulders ochreons mixed with 

 brown. 



Expanse of wings : 40 mm. 



3 S ? from Lower Burma. 



Allied to Jerrqfi/sa Hmpsu. and illusti-ata Warr. The onter margin of both 

 wings is strongly bulged below middle, and the apex of forewiug acute. 



7. Banisia ramifera ab. conformis nov. 



In the type form of ramij'cra Warr. the coloration is uniform in both sexes, 

 the bands and markings being only a little darker than the ground ; the aberration 

 conformis mimics to a certain extent B, lateralis Warr., having black blotches in 

 both branches of the outer fascia of forewiug on each side of vein 3, and in the hind- 

 wing on each side of vein 2 ; the difference in the lines will always distinguish them, 

 these being curved and sinuous in ramifera, vertical and angular in lateralis; also 

 the dorsum in the former is dark fuscous, without dots, in the latter pale ochreons 

 and with two rows of dark dots. 



1 c? from Kumusi River, North-East British New Guinea, low elevation, June 

 1907 (Meek). 



8. Banisia taeniata spec. nov. 

 Forewiug ; greyish-ochreous with a pink tinge, paler along costal half, more 

 rufous along inner margin ; varied with tine striae and crossed by concise chestnut-
